Eating in Brisbane: Breakfast at Buderim

 Ingrid's Place

Ingrid's Place - tables inside and out.

While waiting for my Uncle's treatment we decided to go for breakfast in the small town of Buderim.
Main Street of Buderim

Buderim sits on a 180 metre (590 ft) mountain overlooking the Sunshine Coast. It is famous for its ginger and coffee production that began in the late 19th Century. The original ginger factory still stands as a garage, but the factory itself is now located in Yandina 23 kms North of Buderim. It remains a stylish place to live, sort after for its charm and proximity to the Sunshine Coast beaches. There are some beautiful nature walks and waterfalls for people to explore on the side of the mountain, as well as some historic buildings to visit. Other than that, there are plenty of choices for coffee in the Main Street. 
The quieter end of Buderim
Ingrid's Place is not close to the main area of town, but a little further up the street just past The Coffee Club. Buderim doesn't have a Maccas, but it has a Coffee Club, which, by the way, has a lovely view next to the park. 
Back to Ingrid's Place.  

The only thing confusing about Ingrid's Place was finding a sign with their name on it (unless you are across the road)! Other than that, everything was wonderful. 

The chef came out and greeted us as we were ordering and was very friendly and professional looking in his white uniform. 
The menu is small but interesting with variations on regular classics. I am sitting here sipping tea, hoping to bide enough time to warrant ordering lunch soon. 
A cup of tea and a newspaper?
For breakfast I ordered Scrambled Eggs with onion, bacon, mushroom and cheese. This turned out to be very cheesy and filling for $14.50.
Breakfast :)

Thus the need to wait a few hours before ordering lunch. Tick tock.
My cousin ordered simple French Toast. 
French Toast
It was delicious. Crunchy outside, soft and juicy inside. 
Well, it's nearly lunch time. I wonder if I will get to try the Fettuccine and pesto with grilled chicken they had on the menu for $17.50? Maybe I should save it for next time....
